MLB 08: The Show

Screenshots:

Background:
The longest running officially licensed baseball title on Playstation platforms now has a new addition - MLB 08: The Show. Being labelled the most authentic baseball game ever, MLB 08: The Show will give fans the most realistic gaming to date.

Gameplay:
Providing players with some additional performance incentives, the MLB franchise introduces the new Progressive Batting Performance feature, which will both reward players for superior performance and penalize them for hitting slumps. Specific to each individual batter, players will be rewarded with slight contact bonuses, or punished with slight decreases in contact, based on how that batter that performs beyond his "natural ability" while under user control. Adding to the online feature set, which includes customizable Online League Play with up to 30 teams, scrolling MLB® Score Ticker and more, MLB 08: The Show introduces SCOUT (SportsConnect Online User Tracking), which allows gamers to set and store their game preferences on the MLB server, and enables the system to look for a Quick Match with opponents that fits similar competitive criteria.
